Bruntingthorpe On Your Marks 2014

What's the hotel plan this year, folks? Seriously tempted to bring the DJCatman down for the night

C

 

[Andyk]

Same place I would say.....The Hickley Island.

 

[CatmanV2]

Do we get a special, Andy, or not decided yet?

C

 

[Andyk]

Yes, there will be a special rate..Will let you know how much and how you get it as soon as I get details.

 

[Blu Elettrico]

I've already booked hotel (how keen are we to do it again!) Hinkley Island hotel is pretty reasonable anyway,think I paid around £55 for the Sat night. just got to get service sorted and then ready to go. Lisa will be on hand to help again if needed Andy.
Cheers Blu

 

[Andyk]

Blu, that would be great if Lisa would help again, she played a blinder last year.......We will do it different this time and be much more organised. I will start thinking of a plan of attack and get Mr C involved as I know he wants to play a big part this year.......

booked the best western in lutterworth but if arranging a dinner or anything for sat night at hinkley would be keen to come along.

 

[Andyk]

Best Western...is that the one on the country club/golf course....

yes that's the one. picked it due to location being near event and price was not too bad at 170 for 2 nights.............everywhere is a long way from inverness so you get used to 2 nights if you go anywhere!

 

[Andyk]

I stayed there with work for a week...It's not too bad to be honest......Good choice...The Hickley Island is about 5 mins down the road if that........

moris came back cheapest for 2 drivers at £79........between that and the hotel at £170 and probably around £300 in petrol to get there and back.......think I might have to set up my own charity........all donations gratefully recieved!

You have a long way to go to beat Adrian last year - complete set of new discs and pads all round plus a set of tyres for his C63 AMG on top of hotel costs and fuel etc! He's still game on for coming again this year - worth every penny!!

 

[Andyk]

So glad he is back this year MArk...I take it he is still coming....Now you say the beast has more power I can not wait for a ride...as Dan can not as well.

 

[MAF260]

He's taking his car to the rolling road with me next weekend to get a power reading. Will be interesting to see what it's putting out now.

 

[Andyk]

It was a beast without the extra power Mark........

 

[CatmanV2]

Hinckley point is very reasonable, indeed. But every little helps

Mrs C is raring to go, Andy

[Andyk]

Great stuff C....Thanks.

 

[Andyk]

OK, so I know have the passes for Brunty..Two types as before..One for the track goers and another for anyone just coming along for the day. Anyone that's coming needs to send me a private message with an email address to send the passes to. All you need to do is print off the pass...This year everyone is being asked to bring a tin of food to give to the food bank at the gate...So if you could that would be great.

PM sent!
